Dear Mr. Arnold:
Per your request, we are providing supplemental geotechnical recommendations for
the Phase III project to be located at the Grand Pacific Resorts, Carlsbad, California.
We previously performed a geotechnical investigation of the site and presented our
results in the referenced report. This letter provides geotechnical recommendations
for any bio-retention basin or bio-swales that are planned for the site
Remedial grading is recommended for the site which will use the on-site soils as
compacted fill. The soils that are anticipated to be used as engineered fill consist of
silty sand, clayey sand and sandy clay. Based on our experience with the on-site soils,
the compacted fill materials are expected to have a very low permeability and very
low infiltration characteristics which would make them unsuitable for infiltration of
storm water runoff.
Any bio-retention basins or bio-swales that are planned for the site should be designed
by the project civil engineer. Due to site soil conditions any permanent bio-retention
basins should be lined with an impermeable barrier to prevent water infiltration in the
